NO. I have not ever seen the 4 points operated as 4 individual points
(doesn't mean it hasn't happened, and would only happen in Victoria if it
did <g>

if you were looking at the middle of the double slip, the left hand 2
points work in conjunction with each other (classed as 1 point) and the
right hand points work with each other.

They are usually counted as 2 points only, not 4, and would only have 2
lock bars (if necessary)
